Someone in a failed former Soviet state might have had a good laugh while cashing a check after posting a fake story about Hillary Clinton and John Podesta operating a child sex slave operation at a Washington, DC, pizzeria. A man walked into the place with a gun intending to free the slaves. Of course, there was nothing of the sort. It was a pizza place. Nothing more. The idiot reported that the “intel wasn’t 100%” during an actual jailhouse interview with The New York Times.

We brace ourselves in the wake of Tuesday’s election. A central part of Donald Trump’s campaign — in fact, his first pledge — was to deport more than 10 million undocumented immigrants, build a wall along the Mexican border and send the bill to Mexico, and rescind President Obama’s executive orders granting asylum to certain immigrants. If Trump was serious, and we must take him at his word, Storm Lake should be prepared to see deportations of hundreds upon hundreds of Latinos if they can be rounded up.
